Very Bad News for remaining Ruddy Ducks!!!

This was emailed to me from Roger Bird today.

Roger emailed 'The Fera Correspondence Unit' on the 3rd June to ask if "the Ruddy Duck eradication programme has now been fully completed and no more shooting will take place from todays date?"

Roger received the following email back today including attached pdf (which I had to change to jpgs in photoshop to attach here)

"Dear Mr Bird

Thank you for your email of 3 June regarding Ruddy Duck eradication work. Although the EU-funded eradication project ended on 31 March 2011, further work is being carried out during 2011/12 with the aim of progressing towards complete eradication by 2015. I attach a copy of our project bulletin from April 2011 which explains this in more detail.

Regards.
